If you’re puzzled by the presence of seemingly Japanese-inspired items such as Teriyaki Burger and Shrimp Burger, that’s because Lotteria first began in Japan in 1979 by Korean entrepreneur Shin Kyuk-ho.
The popular fast-food chain also offers fried chicken and other sides such as the popular Cheese Sticks – and is known to roll out localised items such as banh mi-inspired burgers and even a Buldak fried chicken burger in Vietnam.
According to the press release, Lotteria has more than 1,600 stores across seven countries, including Japan, Indonesia, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and, of course, South Korea.
